Klaus Fluoride (Dead Kennedys) joins Blind Orange Genocide (the Avengers / No Alternative)

Contributed by an Anonymous Source. Posted by adam on Monday, April 2, 2007 at 11:00 PM (EDT)

Dead Kennedys bassist Klaus Fluoride has joined Blind Orange Genocide, a band formed last year by Greg Ingraham of the Avengers and Johnny Genocide of No Alternative. The band has finished writing an album's worth of original material and is gearing up for live shows late this summer. The band is currently shopping for an indie label to put the resulting record out. The band describes their sound as "early Stones/Yardbirds with shades of garage sounding influence thrown in for good measure."

The band is currently rehearsing at Johnny Genocide's Rogue Chemist Studios in San Francisco. Early music can be previewed via their MySpace page.

jello is stoked

Someone (April 3, 2007)

what a noob! you forgot to say first.

Someone (April 2, 2007)

Sounds like it's going to fuckin' suck.

Someone (April 2, 2007)

Jello now looses his main point against his former band mates.

Strange. I thought the headline read Re: Klaus Fluoride (Dead Kennedys) joins Blind Orange Genocide (the Avengers / No Alternative).
Not:
Remaining members of Dead Kennedys wrote and recorded an album of new material that's worth a shit.

No, because Jello's been doing music on a regular basis ever since the DK's disbanded (an event caused by the departure of East Bay Ray in 1986, mind you). Which is more than I could say for most of the rest of Dead Kennedy$.

LushJ (April 3, 2007)

To be fair, I'm pretty sure all of the ex-DK's have had different bands since the DK's broke up in 1987. Jumbo Shrimp, Peligro, Skrapyard, Kage, Flouride, & a few others.

Here's the difference. Jello's been constantly moving forward since the DK's split, instead of reforming a mockery of his most influential band and playing exact versions of 20-25 year old songs.

Gotta keep earning that Alternative Tentacles paycheck, huh, Jesse? Shill away!

LushJ (April 3, 2007)

Bzzt, wrong! If I were just earning an AT paycheck, I wouldn't have said anything about their other bands.

Dante3000 (rich) (April 3, 2007)

When am I getting my Jello interview? Earn your AT paycheck and make that happen!
-Dante
Do you really get paychecks with AT on them? I get direct deposit so I just get a pay stub from our accounting company but if my paycheck said AT I'd totally never cash it and just frame it on my wall. I'd be totally poor.

LushJ (April 3, 2007)

Dante, you weirdo! Yes, but there's no bat logo on 'em. Life Is Abuse has a garbage truck on their checks...

Dante3000 (rich) (April 3, 2007)

Woah...I want some of that check action. Seriously, if I ever start a company we're going to have flaming skull watermarks on our checks.
-Dante
Just so I can have my employees go to cash their checks and say, "See if you hold it up to the light you can see the flaming skull. That means it's official."

Someone (April 2, 2007)

shipping for an indie label?

miff (April 3, 2007)

what would be funny is if they got signed to alternative tentacles

Dante3000 (rich) (April 2, 2007)

Thank god. This band seemed to need some credibility.
-Dante

Someone (April 2, 2007)

I feel kind of guilty, but i like this, even though klaus is a money grubbing douche who screwed over one of my favorite people he still rocks the bass...

Someone (April 3, 2007)

Jello isnt all that innocent you know....

It's be proven in a court of law that he screwed over his former band members

Someone (April 3, 2007)

Dude, you boviously know nothing about what happened with DK if you think Klause was the money grubbing douche. Hello! Jello was ripping off roalties from him for years! Jello is the greedy bitch here.

Someone (April 3, 2007)

::listens to bass::

Yeah, that's Klaus alright.

LikeBats (April 3, 2007)

(offtopic)i have a question about jawbreaker. i know what the 4 f's stand for, but does anyone know why the chose that? i wouldnt really describe their music as "Hardy, God-fearing, Cheerful, Free".

Someone (April 3, 2007)

"i have a question about jawbreaker. i know what the 4 f's stand for"
For Fucking Flaming Faggots?

Jawbreaker sucks and so do you

Someone (April 3, 2007)

i love Jawbreaker, but that was hilarious.

Someone (April 3, 2007)

LikeBats (April 3, 2007)

skaboom (April 3, 2007)

Praise Jesus! When religion isn't killing people directly through suicidal fundamentalists, it kills them slowly, by telling them that holy water works better than medicine.

I wonder what kind of bullshit these people have been fed their whole lives to believe something so stupid. That's so sad.

Someone (April 3, 2007)

klaus is a peice of shit old man.

Someone (April 3, 2007)

Its clear you don't know the man

slappywhite (April 3, 2007)

Well, we know Alternative Tentacles won't be signing these guys anytime soon!
